  1. Yeah? Well, who the f*&^ cares what those rednecks think? DMX told 'em though: Bring it! What!? We right here We're not goin anywhere We right here This is ours and we don't share We right here
  2. ^ Dayniile is a funny website, isn't it? Seriously, there's something fishy going on and you know it. Why would Dhahar and Laasqorey continue to post false information about their regions? Why would the PL interior minister, with Pres Cadde in tow, hold a PRESS CONFERENCE about news reports printed by the likes of Dayniile or Onkod? Why would MP Axmed Cawad Casharo and his colleagues (incl TFG defense minister) hold a press conference in Baydhabo, blaming the battle on Cadde Muuse? All of this drama because of Dayniile and Onkod reports? The truth will always come out. Always.

  4. ^ Waad dhaarsantihiin markaan yaah. Ultimatum? LOL These niggas is denying the whole affair by holding a press conference, led by Cadde's new stooge since he got his ministerial position back, Mr. Axmed Xaabade. The timing of the Sanaag MPs' press conference couldn't have come at a better time. Exposes PL's conspiracy to silence the issue, even though they keep sending in more and more armed militias. HORN - What you mean by the issue is close to being "resolved"? I'm lost on that.
  5. ^ Yo, you need to separate Sharia Law (as ordained upon mankind by Almighty Allah SWT) and the Sharia Law being practiced in a country under the military occupation of non-Muslims! I'm putting the legality of Sharia Law in Afghanistan into question because, at the end of the day, they don't even run their own country. Law is executed by those in control. Afghanis are most certainly not in control of their country and you know it. Secondly, quit trying to personalize the issue. Don't worry about where I live or why I choose to live here. Stick to the topic or save your nacnac for those who give a f*&^ as to what crap you type up next.
  6. ^ Nacnac-badane. Or so the Legend goes. If you read the entire thing, I asked a question. I don't think Sharia Law can be applied, legally, in a country under non-Muslim occupation. I might be wrong, however.
  7. ^ Walahi its cajiib to me, too. These "news" websites are politically-oriented to one side or another. Since TFG ministers are speaking out on this story, then it must be true and its an embarrassment for Cadde's admin as well as for majority of the Puntland websites. This guy [Cadde] thinks he can rule PL by force, even though he came to power through peaceful means after his predecessor - and the more deserving - Maxamed Cabdi Xaashi stepped down. Cadde's obsession with exploration has caused instability in Garowe before and is now the cause of open warfare in Sanaag. Soomaaliya cidna cid kale kama xoog badna.

  8. Pretty rogue stuff. But a much-needed eye-opener for those who believe the "war on terrorism" somehow "protects" America. Pro-Israel lobby in U.S. under attack WASHINGTON, March 20 (UPI) -- Two of America's top scholars have published a searing attack on the role and power of Washington's pro-Israel lobby in a British journal, warning that its "decisive" role in fomenting the Iraq war is now being repeated with the threat of action against Iran. And they say that the Lobby is so strong that they doubt their article would be accepted in any U.S.-based publication. Professor John Mearsheimer of the University of Chicago, author of "The Tragedy of Great Power Politics" and Professor Stephen Walt of Harvard's Kenney School, and author of "Taming American Power: The Global Response to U.S. Primacy," are leading figures American in academic life. They claim that the Israel lobby has distorted American policy and operates against American interests, that it has organized the funneling of more than $140 billion dollars to Israel and "has a stranglehold" on the U.S. Congress, and its ability to raise large campaign funds gives its vast influence over Republican and Democratic administrations, while its role in Washington think tanks on the Middle East dominates the policy debate. And they say that the Lobby works ruthlessly to suppress questioning of its role, to blacken its critics and to crush serious debate about the wisdom of supporting Israel in U.S. public life. "Silencing skeptics by organizing blacklists and boycotts -- or by suggesting that critics are anti-Semites -- violates the principle of open debate on which democracy depends," Walt and Mearsheimer write. "The inability of Congress to conduct a genuine debate on these important issues paralyses the entire process of democratic deliberation. Israel's backers should be free to make their case and to challenge those who disagree with them, but efforts to stifle debate by intimidation must be roundly condemned," they add, in the 12,800-word article published in the latest issue of The London Review of Books. The article focuses strongly on the role of the "neo-conservatives" within the Bush administration in driving the decision to launch the war on Iraq. "The main driving force behind the war was a small band of neo-conservatives, many with ties to the Likud," Mearsheimer and Walt argue." Given the neo-conservatives' devotion to Israel, their obsession with Iraq, and their influence in the Bush administration, it isn't surprising that many Americans suspected that the war was designed to further Israeli interests." "The neo-conservatives had been determined to topple Saddam even before Bush became president. They caused a stir early in 1998 by publishing two open letters to Clinton, calling for Saddam's removal from power. The signatories, many of whom had close ties to pro-Israel groups like JINSA (Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs) or WINEP (Washington Institute for Near Eastern Policy), and who included Elliot Abrams, John Bolton, Douglas Feith, William Kristol, Bernard Lewis, Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz, had little trouble persuading the Clinton administration to adopt the general goal of ousting Saddam. But they were unable to sell a war to achieve that objective. They were no more able to generate enthusiasm for invading Iraq in the early months of the Bush administration. They needed help to achieve their aim. That help arrived with 9/11. Specifically, the events of that day led Bush and Cheney to reverse course and become strong proponents of a preventive war," Walt and Mearsheimer write. The article, which is already stirring furious debate in U.S. academic and intellectual circles, also explores the historical role of the Lobby. "For the past several decades, and especially since the Six-Day War in 1967, the centerpiece of US Middle Eastern policy has been its relationship with Israel," the article says. "The combination of unwavering support for Israel and the related effort to spread 'democracy' throughout the region has inflamed Arab and Islamic opinion and jeopardized not only U.S. security but that of much of the rest of the world. This situation has no equal in American political history. Why has the U.S. been willing to set aside its own security and that of many of its allies in order to advance the interests of another state?" Professors Walt and Mearsheimer add. "The thrust of U.S. policy in the region derives almost entirely from domestic politics, and especially the activities of the 'Israel Lobby'. Other special-interest groups have managed to skew foreign policy, but no lobby has managed to divert it as far from what the national interest would suggest, while simultaneously convincing Americans that U.S. interests and those of the other country - in this case, Israel -- are essentially identical," they add. They argue that far from being a strategic asset to the United States, Israel "is becoming a strategic burden" and "does not behave like a loyal ally." They also suggest that Israel is also now "a liability in the war on terror and the broader effort to deal with rogue states. "Saying that Israel and the U.S. are united by a shared terrorist threat has the causal relationship backwards: the US has a terrorism problem in good part because it is so closely allied with Israel, not the other way around," they add. "Support for Israel is not the only source of anti-American terrorism, but it is an important one, and it makes winning the war on terror more difficult. There is no question that many al-Qaida leaders, including Osama bin Laden, are motivated by Israel's presence in Jerusalem and the plight of the Palestinians. Unconditional support for Israel makes it easier for extremists to rally popular support and to attract recruits." They question the argument that Israel deserves support as the only democracy in the Middle East, claiming that "some aspects of Israeli democracy are at odds with core American values. Unlike the US, where people are supposed to enjoy equal rights irrespective of race, religion or ethnicity, Israel was explicitly founded as a Jewish state and citizenship is based on the principle of blood kinship. Given this, it is not surprising that its 1.3 million Arabs are treated as second-class citizens." The most powerful force in the Lobby is AIPAC, the American-Israel Public affairs Committee, which Walt and Mearsheimer call "a de facto agent for a foreign government," and which they say has now forged an important alliance with evangelical Christian groups. The bulk of the article is a detailed analysis of the way they claim the Lobby managed to change the Bush administration's policy from "halting Israel's expansionist policies in the Occupied Territories and advocating the creation of a Palestinian state" and divert it to the war on Iraq instead. They write "Pressure from Israel and the Lobby was not the only factor behind the decision to attack Iraq in March 2003, but it was critical." "Thanks to the lobby, the United States has become the de facto enabler of Israeli expansion in the Occupied Territories, making it complicit in the crimes perpetrated against the Palestinians," and conclude that "Israel itself would probably be better off if the Lobby were less powerful and U.S. policy more even-handed." © Copyright 2006 United Press International, Inc.

  10. ^ Well, I know for a fact that you're not the homie in the picture. So, what's your excuse for using another man's photo as your avatar? Low self-esteem, perhaps? Running low on ball juice? Whatever it is, its not worth damaging the worth of your ragnimo for it. Just some brotherly advice.

  12. Nothing wrong with Sharia Law. Something wrong with how its used by "some" folks, sometimes. For example, here's my question: Can Sharia Law be applied in a country that's under non-Muslim occupation (i.e. Afghanistan)? Originally posted by Castro: A phone conversation between "Western powers" (WP) and Karzai after the man is put to death: WP: "How could you let this happen Kazzie?

  13. ^ Hey, do you realize that you copy-and-pasted the article on here 4x? Finally there is North Korea, which the national strategy document seems to assume already has nuclear weapons. Pyongyang is simply enjoined to "afford freedom to its people," and the North Koreans are warned that the United States will protect itself "against adverse effects of their bad conduct." The Iranian government in Tehran will surely note that pre-emption is not mentioned in connection with North Korea. What do you call hypocrisy when its so evident, so overt that it transforms into something wholly more sinister? The case between North Korea and Iran is a classic exampe of Bush's hypocrisy. Knowing that both countries are part of the "Axis of Evil," as stated by the Texan cowboy, how is it that North Korea - a country that's 10x more brutal to its people than Iran - gets the slap on the wrist, so to speak, while Iran is threatened by use of American military force? I give props to that midget in Pyongyang. Every time the West tries to pressure him, he simply launches a couple ballistic missiles into the Sea of Japan - and they back off immediately. "Power never takes a step back - only in the face of more power." - al-Haji Malik el-Shabazz (Malcolm X) The lesson here is that if you have tons of ballistic missiles, you can do as you like and Stephen Hadley won't publish threats against you or your country.
  14. How the f*&^ did the topic become the drought in Somalia? For the record, the drought has affected many regions of Somalia, including Puntland (parts of Nugaal, Sanaag) and Somaliland (parts of Awdal). Its a drought that's affecting millions of people in the entire Horn. May Allah SWT help all those poor Muslims (Aamin!). Secondly, Mr. SOMALIPRIDE, how is it that, in your endless attempts to discredit me, you always purposefully manage to sidestep the topic at hand? Before, you couldn't admit Cadde's massive political loss after the brutal murder of three Reer Nugaal boys (Allaha u naxaristo). But, it was your idol Cadde who admitted his mistake and paid the mag by doubling it! - a relatively unknown practice in degaanada Waqooyi Bari. How did you feel about that? I know you wanted an eye-for-an-eye gun battle so that Cadde could argue Garoowe is unsafe as Puntland capital and move it to...perhaps, Qardho? Not! But, the ongoing conflict in Sanaag is a very serious issue. According to Dhahar.com, Hadaba kornaylka oo dhahar.com ay waydiisay khasaara ka dhacay goobta dagaalka ayaa sheegay in ay Melayshiyada Cadde laga dilay 9, kana dhaawaceen 12 isla markaana ay ka gubeen laba gaari mid tiknika ah iyo mid kuwa xamuulka qaada ah. Kornayalka ayaa sheegay khasaaraha xagoodu in uu yahay 3 dhaawac ah iyo mid dhintey alaha u naxariistee . Wuxuu kale oo Kornayl Atam sheegay in malayshadii Cade ay Joogaan buurta hoosteeda , isla markaan ay go'doon yihiin, iyadoo ay ciidamada degaanka ay fadhiyaan labada wado ee soo gala Majiyahan. This natural resources exploration, heralded by Cadde and Gaagaab, continues to destablize the region as whole. This armed conflict (or the like of it) is what I feared ever since Cadde signed the mysterious deal with "Terry" and the junior Australian company.

If memory serves me correctly (and it does), I do remember the bloody civil war in the mid-90s amongst the SNM, which ended only after West Burcawis were militarily crushed into submission. Isn't that why men like Buubaa (one of the forefounders of SL, now a "traitor" ) left Waqooyi Galbeed regions to begin with so that foul-mouthed cowards and former Dictator's pets like Faysal Cali Waraabe can take up his spot? But my point is this: the SNM slaughtered each other but agreed to peace in the end. However, you don't think that's a "clan thing." Yet, when the SSDF did the same thing, its because Reer Puntland are a bunch of tribalists, blah blah. No one is s.tupid here, homie. Rag wayna dagaalamaan, wayna heshiiyaan and you know it! Quit playing the Devil's Advocate and let the brotherly peoples of Sanaag and Bari sort out their differences.

  17. American public support for GW Bush is at an all-time low. 3rd anniversary of American invasion of Iraq commemorated by protests across the globe. Foreign leaders accusing Bush of being what he [bush] despises the most. Does this Texan cowboy give a f*&^ though? I think not. MINSK, March 19 (Reuters) - Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko, derided in Washington for running "Europe's last dictatorship", hit back on Sunday by denouncing U.S. President George W. Bush as "terrorist No. 1 on the planet". "Bush is terrorist no. 1 on the planet," Lukashenko told reporters after voting in Belarus's presidential election. "To crush a state openly and then to go ahead and kill presidents. What is there to say?"
  18. ^ Trying to avoid the charge of "treason" - even on SOL, huh. Cabsida aad qabtid waynaa. The report about SL's treasury was actually written by a diehard Somaliland nationalist (Ali Gulaid).

  22. Funny that, even though the vast majority of Australia's immigrants come from non-Muslim countries, the Australians are panicking about a "Muslim Australia" within the next 50 years. p.s. Did anyone read Christian Evangelical broadcaster Robertson's comments: "By the way, Islam is not a religion of peace." This old man is going bananas! RU-486 Will Give Rise to Muslim Australia by Joseph A. D'Agostino Posted Mar 13, 2006 Australia recently took two important steps that may greatly influence her long-term future. One was the vote of her parliament last month to legalize RU-486, the human pesticide. The other is the stepped-up campaign by Prime Minister John Howard’s government against multiculturalism. During an event meant to highlight opposition to RU-486, pro-life Danna Vale, a Member of Parliament and of Howard’s Liberal Party, spoke of the growing threat to Australia posed by abortion and Muslims. “I’ve actually read in the Daily Telegraph, where a certain imam from the Lakemba mosque actually said that Australia’s going to be a Muslim nation in 50 years’ time,†she said. “I didn’t believe him at the time, but you know, when you actually look at the birthrates and you look at the fact that we are aborting ourselves almost out of existence by 100,000 abortions every year, and that’s on a guesstimate, you multiply that by 50 years. That’s five million potential Australians we won’t have here.†Vale’s comment generated the usual politically correct denunciations, and she herself later admitted that she had been “clumsy.†“I was not speaking racially, despite the criticisms I have received from those sections of the media that act more like a fifth column rather than our fourth estate,†she wrote in an op-ed for The Age, February 25. “I was speaking demographically, even if, as I have already acknowledged, in a regrettably clumsy way. The focus of my concern was the disturbing fact that there are an estimated 80,000 to 100,000 abortions in Australia each year, a fact that does worry a majority of thinking Australians. A survey conducted by the Southern Cross Bioethics Institute found that 64% of Australians think the abortion rate is too high and 87% think it should be reduced.†Vale said that she was not criticizing Muslims’ relatively high fertility rates. “Muslim Australians value their children,†she wrote. “It is non-Muslim Australians who are not having enough children, a point well made by the Herald last week, which cited figures that exposed a fertility fault-line in Sydney from Cronulla to Castle Hill. The area west of that fault-line, south-western Sydney, has fertility rates more than double those in other areas. Last year around budget time, Treasurer Peter Costello encouraged Australian mothers to ‘have one for yourself, one for your husband and one for Australia.’ Sound advice.†Vale practices what she preaches. “Danna’s first two babies were born after very difficult pregnancies and when she became pregnant with her fourth child in the early 1970s, her third baby was only four months old,†says Gail Instance, Director of Family Life International-Australia. “Her obstetrician advised an abortion, which she refused. She told us that her decision then has been reaffirmed every day as she looks into the eyes of her youngest son.†It seems that the imam’s prediction is actually unlikely for Australia, whose immigrants—unlike those into many European nations—are mostly non-Muslim. And though the Muslim birthrate in Australia is at least 2.7 children per woman, far higher than the country average of 1.7, Muslims make up only 1.5% to 3% of the population. Most of Australia’s immigrants currently come from China and other non-Muslim nations. Yet if immigration patterns change, the imam could turn out to be right. And certainly, barring major policy changes, Australia’s Muslim population is going to become much larger and much more influential over the next few decades. Why might immigration patterns change, making a Muslim Australia a real possibility? Because non-Muslim Third World populations, especially in China and other such Asian nations, now have low birthrates. Muslim countries have relatively high ones. Replacement rate is 2.1. Take two large, poor Muslim nations in Australia’s region: Malaysia, 2.6; and Indonesia, 2.2. These aren’t high birthrates, but at least they are above replacement—and thus these countries could become major sources of immigrants for Australia, whose native-born people have so few kids that immigration is necessary to keep the economy going. Regardless of how Islamic Australia becomes, high rates of immigration, low birthrates among the native population, and the anti-assimilation multiculturalist ethos are changing the country’s character. Those who value Australia’s Western, English, ordered, and Christian-influenced culture should be concerned. Unfortunately, Australians aren’t concerned enough to produce their future generations. Howard and many other members of the Australian government want to reduce abortion and rescue marriage, and yet couldn’t prevent parliament from legalizing dangerous RU-486, which is ten times more likely to kill the aborting mother than surgical abortion. That’s a sign of hard-set pro-abortion feeling controlling the people’s representatives, and at a time when Australia needs many more children. That’s why Howard and pro-life Health Minister Tony Abbott announced March 6 a plan to provide $51 million over four years for abortion alternatives counseling, including a 24-hour helpline. “The government does not support changing the abortion law nor does it support restricting Medicare funding for abortion,†they said in a joint press release. “Nevertheless, the government wants to give more support to women who are or have been uncertain about continuing a pregnancy.†Counseling will be given by those with no financial connection to abortion, and women can request to get more information from organizations of their choice. “Our birthrate is below replacement and common sense tells us that we are committing national suicide,†says Instance. “Bob Santamaria said years ago that we had better make up our minds who we want to give this country to since we don’t seem to want it.†“While I respect Muslim support for pro-family and pro-marriage policies, especially at the UN, the negative side is that they also agree with polygamy, even in relatively moderate countries such as Malaysia and the Gulf Emirates,†says Babette Francis, head of the anti-feminist Endeavour Forum. “There is no doubt that the disciplined orthodoxy of Islam, prayers five times a day, clear strictures in regard to behavior, etc., are appealing to those who feel adrift in mainline Protestant churches, and to those who are ‘unchurched.’†Francis considers Islam to be a potentially serious threat. “The crucial problem is that we cannot rely on the division of Muslims into moderate good ones and terrorists,†she says. “There are devastating flaws in the religion of Islam itself and it will always be prone to terrorism and similar evils in a way that Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, and Hinduism are not.†Howard and Costello have announced that multiculturalism has got to go. Howard said that immigrants who do not “fit in†should not come to Australia, and Costello wants testing on cultural values before immigrants are allowed to stay in the country. In the meantime, radical Muslims in Australia are calling for jihad against their adopted nation’s own troops. Reported The Australian today, “’The Australian Government is part of a coalition that is inflicting untold horrors upon the Muslim world whether in Iraq or Afghanistan,’ the radical group’s spokesman, Wassim Doureihi, told The Australian yesterday. ‘There are bombs being dropped and there are children being killed and there are entire cities being uprooted.’†His group, Hizb ut-Tahrir, has praised suicide bombers and the like. The simple fact is, any country with a sizeable Muslim population these days is likely to have problems with terrorists, murderers, and insurrectionists, not to mention polygamists and anti-Semites. No amount of politically correct platitudination can change that. An increasing proportion of children being born worldwide are Muslim. So what does that mean for the future? Australia has decided to legalize the abortion pill while Muslims are against abortion. What does that indicate about the future character of the Australian nation? Mr. D'Agostino, former Associate Editor of HUMAN EVENTS, is Vice President for Communications at the Population Research Institute.
